[Rhodes22-list] Tacking

[jbconnolly at comcast.net]

I have a 135% jib on a CDI FF2.  It is cut fairly high and has not yet hung up 
on any deck fittings. 

Periodically when tacking, the clew of the jib hangs up on the forward lower 
shrouds.  I think that it happens more often when I take too much tension on 
the lazy jib sheet before the tack.  

I am considering the need for rollers on the forward lowers.  Does anybody have 
any preferenced to share?
